Thanks, Bob. I didnt have anything readily to hand to test it myself.BSJR wrote:As the WSARS & PREST commands allow you to set width and height of the section to show, this will automatically cut off any padding even if set to the x-size from the header. There is no need to remove or add it on Load or Save.pjw wrote:Sprites can relatively easily be converted, however, the padding to an even long word at the end of each line is a bit of a nuisance, and is one of the reasons why I feel the sprite format is not the ideal, de facto standards for general image files. Padding makes sense for sprites, which need to be displayed rapidly, but for picture files, the padding would have to be removed on loading - at least if it is to conform with the current wman etc (am I right?) and added again on saving to the spr format.
Only if the original is a _PIC, may padding need to be added for _SPR conversion.
But, to you earlier post: What is the problem displaying large sprite-type files? In most cases its just a question of altering the header - unless conversion is required..
